I've heard a lot about the possibility of Shane Valenti being rookied by an AFL club but I have heard nothing about Pete Summers. I've been going to the Sandringham games this year as well as watching them on TV and am very impressed with this kid. He was on Essendon's rookie list at one stage a couple of years back, now a 23 year old he has been a big contributor in the majority of Sandringham's games this year. His decision making and finishing skills have been very classy. I know most of you think it will be better picking up a a younger player (eg. 18-20 year old) but personaly I think he is ready to play AFL.

What are your thoughts on whether he is good enough or not to make it to the top level?

    If he was on Essendon's rookie list then Sheedy would have already had a good look at him and decided to press the reject button. Therefore, if Sheeds becomes coach, Summers chances of being drafted by us won't be all that flash.

    Really needs to work on his kicking.

    No thanks!

    You've got to be kidding. One of, if not the best kick down at Sandy and puts a lot of Melbourne blokes to shame too.

    Definitely worth a mature age rookie. If he was on Melbourne's list this year he would have been playing since round 5.

    He has probably come on a bit in the last few years since being at Essendon.

    Agree.

    Potentially rookie list him but I'd prefer to elevate Jace Bode...

    Also Biddlecombe - looks the goods but we have enough of undersized defenders and its not hard to look good in such a dominant team as Sandy.

    The times I have seen him on telly his disposal by foot has either hit an opposition or not a target. At first I thought beauty he is a great player lets get him but as I watched him more his foot skills aren't all that great.

    I don't know much about Summers.

    However, as a 23 year old you're definitely closer to where you're going to be as a footballer rather than when you're 17. Less risky than picking up a kid, but less upside/potential I guess.

    Potentially rookie list him but I'd prefer to elevate Jace Bode...

    Not sure what you mean by that. We have elevated Bode - that means there's a spot on the rookie list. Do you mean to say that Bode is a simialr player and thus picking up Summers would be pointless?

    Also Biddlecombe - looks the goods but we have enough of undersized defenders and its not hard to look good in such a dominant team as Sandy.

    Did he play for Geelong?

    You need to get down to TBO more often then, DD36. I'm guessing we've been on the ABC about twice this year? Summers is a class player at this level, and would probably be some outside chance of being rookied, he's had 3 good years now at VFL level, his disposal would be upto AFL standard without a doubt...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
